Fig. 1: Main tectonic features, deep structure of the eastern Betics, and stratigraphy of the Tabernas basin.
From: Tracking lithospheric delamination and surface processes across the Messinian salinity crisis
a Topography with existing low-temperature thermochronology dates inferred from Apatite fission-track (AFT) and (U-Th-Sm)/He (AHe) analyses are shown in addition to crustal thickness (labeled white thin lines), location of slab tear (thick back dashed lines) main faults and Neogene intramontane basins. b GNSS-based velocities (red vectors) in southern Spain with the location of External Zone and Internal Zone (brown filled polygons) of the Betic Cordillera after ref. 30. c Lithosphere-scale cross-section of the eastern Betics (see location as red dashed line in a). d Stratigraphy of the Tabernas Basin with rock samples from the Paleozoic basement of Nevado-Filábride complex (NF), the Triassic limestones of the Alpujárride complex (AJ) to the Serravallian-Tortonian siliciclastic deposits.
